That’s Interesting Because: UFC 192

 

Alexander Gustafsson’s upper-cut is a snoozer and his knees in the clinch are no joke either. Interesting because, as I see it Daniel Cormier is going to look to close the distance and control Alexander against the fence. This is one of DC’s greatest strengths, but the Mauler’s skill set may make that tough. It won’t be as simple as get in his face, for a tall fighter Gustafsson is devastating from inside. Cormier is great at avoiding damage and I can’t see him getting outpaced. Cormier by UD.

The #5 Rashad Evans of two years ago, runs right over #4 Ryan Bader. Interesting because that is the last time Suga fought. Who is the Evans of 2015? Bader is on a roll, winner of his last four and looking to make it five on the way to the LHW title. I still believe Rashad is the faster fighter and that will be the difference in his two rounds to one, win.

Jon Jones is now available to compete and that just screwed up everything. Everything that UFC 192 would have accomplished. Which is to create interest in the division without Jones. Jones has beaten all of the above listed LHW’s.  If Bones gets a title shot that screws up the Contender fight and everyone’s even timeline. Attila the Hun doesn’t want a piece of “chip on his shoulder” Jon Jones and it doesn’t matter whether he learned a lesson when they lock the cage door.
 

Rose Namajunas V Angela Hill is interesting because we get to see these developing fighters compete and observe the Strawweight division’s development from the ground floor. With only 7 fights combined more experience will favor both and kicking off the FS-1 broadcast is a great spot. Thug by TKO second round.

Alan Jouban and Albert Tumenov is interesting because in their combined 27 wins they total 18 KO’s. This is a Welterweight battle that should end early. Jouban by decision
